Is it just me or do they seem to be trying to downplay the number of Protestants and total Christians? If you add together the Evangelical, Mainline, and Black Protestant churches, you get a figure of over 50%. That added to the Catholic number puts us at over 75% Christian, not including Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons. I would guess that a fair percentage of the “Unaffiliated” are actually Christians without a current church home, for whatever reason.

What kind of reaction would we get if on the front page of the NY Times the headline read, “Christians make up over 80% of the US population.”?

I think some liberal heads would explode.

add in mormon, jehovah’s witnesses, unaffiliated(unaffiliated means non-denominational christians I think), and orthodox...and you get about 95% of americans are christian.

Holy Crap

If that were the case, then Christians are to blame for the mess the country is in.
